I digress. Javadocs say: "The redefinition may change method bodies,
the constant pool and attributes. The redefinition must not add,
remove or rename fields or methods, change the signatures of methods,
or change inheritance. These restrictions maybe be lifted in future
versions."
So currently there's no problem since redefinition can only change
method bodies, so reflecting over old or new version of the class
returns the same results.
Here's a good starting place on the interaction of runtime visible
attributes and RedefineClasses/RetransformClasses:
